Then you'd have to dance up the aisles and plop down in chairs and pay her homage like she's the best thing since sliced bread...who knows, mabye she is. Now if Rosie only booked you, perhaps her ratings would of skyrocketed and she'd still have a show.The Maplewood Block Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988879127273734457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-18998825846754733372012-03-21T17:45:45.872-05:002012-03-21T17:45:45.872-05:00Itsadomelife - thank you for your thoughtful comme...Itsadomelife - thank you for your thoughtful comments and understanding about insecurities. I usually lay mine right out on the table. It's too much work pretending to be perfect. Family (for most people) are those rare individuals who might be furious at you, but will still bail you out of jail in the middle of the night. Thanks for reading!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509329937576764550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-35712434387579049632012-03-21T10:12:09.616-05:002012-03-21T10:12:09.616-05:00I read the Wall Street Journal article and it made...I read the Wall Street Journal article and it made me laugh. It sounded a bit familiar. My sister and I have a similar although also quite different sibling rivalry going on. We do, however, get over it and stand together when things get bad. The article made me cry too. Family can drive you the most crazy, but also offer you the most comfort. So glad you were interviewed for the article and shared your story with so much honesty. As for insecurities - we all have them. We're human after all. Pretending we have it "all together" just makes us look foolish and dishonest. The real problems begin when we keep them in the dark and pretend they don't exist!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962091404264725580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-13234639481226879712012-03-21T09:45:02.743-05:002012-03-21T09:45:02.743-05:00Julie - Would I lie about the WSJ?

I have 3 older brothers, so I don't really have the rivalry, but I have watched it between them.<br /><br />You climbing in bed with your sister to help her heal, kind of sums it up though. Through the ups and downs, we are always there for each other.<br />Nice article Marianne. <br />And I agree with Lily, no bloating going on. In fact, I thought to myself 'I want to hang with her and drink Mikes Hard Lemonade' :)J.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17127301827412234029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-15501509037046511022012-03-20T09:01:41.707-05:002012-03-20T09:01:41.707-05:00Somehow I had missed that article, instead I had r...Somehow I had missed that article, instead I had read the one "How Your Body Is Growing New Parts".esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-46380969519008655672012-03-20T08:55:29.468-05:002012-03-20T08:55:29.468-05:00And to think I just renewed my subscription last w...And to think I just renewed my subscription last week to the WSJ just in time ...esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-24223022006977677822012-03-20T05:59:18.578-05:002012-03-20T05:59:18.578-05:00This will probably be the only articles in the wsj...This will probably be the only articles in the wsj I can follow and not glaze over while reading!
